I hardly know how to say this.
First, let me say that I am SO sorry that Lizzard 
has had damage.  No type of home damage is easy 
(we lost our electrical system to a fire once).
I'm also both thrilled that she did not lose her 
collection, and in awe of the generosity of the 
people who have set up this fund for her.  It is 
very obvious that she doesn't feel 100% 
comfortable with being in this situation.
I don't mean to make her feel worse, BUT...
There is a part of me that is appalled that we 
are doing a collection for someone who still has 
a house, a hobby, and an internet connection 
rather than the people who have NOTHING LEFT TO 
SELL as a result of the hurricane.
They are the ones who need our help.
AGain, I don't mean this as a slam against 
Lizzard or any of the fine people who are being 
so generous.  It is, after all, not your fault 
that all you need to do is a costly cleanup from 
tree damage.  It's just... gee.
Sorry, I just had to get this out.  |
